The massage was good and I felt better afterwards, so I wish I could leave a better review, but my…read morepractitioner was on her phone, texting or watching videos during the session. She accidentally unmuted her speaker, and her video sound came blasting out at the end. It's weird, as this is not my first time experiencing this (not at this location, but another). It's unprofessional, and also bringing a phone they're using into this kind of session feels like a violation of privacy.

From Facebook and Twitter to Texting and Instagram...we are under a barrage of everyone else's whims, opinions, and ideas. We are under more stress than ever before and considering that the American Medical Association has noted that stress is the #1 proxy killer disease (associated with 80% of all human illness and disease)...we need to do something! I have an idea and a hope of how things can be but I need your help to achieve it! I've decided to take all the guess work out of my business. I have a multitude of massages and bodywork sessions and I am treating everyone as an individual. I understand that what works for one of us may not work for another. Our bodies are different. Massage and Bodywork can no longer be a one size fits all approach. I know this is radical thinking. Most places try to draw you in with pretty pictures, and essential oils, although I totally have those if you love them as much as I do. I am inviting you to join forces with me, so that I may provide you with a renewed commitment to your improved wellness.

It was pleasant and freeing to remain clothed in my comfiest yoga pants & T-shirt, so that she could gently stretch and pull my limbs. She used her body to stretch, knead, compress, and lengthen mine. She used unique compression methods to ease my chronically tight quads and lower back. I was able to trust the process and focus my attention on relaxing. I felt like I received the benefits of yoga, done for me! What a treat! Highly recommend! I cannot wait to go again.

Would have never thought a mall massage would be good but let me tell you... Sarah has the…read morestrongest hands I've ever encountered. I had 2 hours of extreme pressure. She focused on each and every pressure point and didn't miss a spot. She even did hot stones and hot towels. The first half was with the sheets. I didn't think I would like it but I actually preferred that to the oil on skin massage. She used elbows and firearms and use so much force that she was worried it hurt. It wasn't painful but a relief. She then did the oil massage. I opted for a half hour on my legs and feet and she didn't miss one centimeter of either side. I've had hundreds of massages in my lifetime and this was by far one of the best I've ever had. They do cupping therapy as well. That was definitely a bonus. She recommended it because of how bad my back was. I knew it because I have muscular dystrophy and every muscle always hurts. I did leave with red skin and bruises but that's when you know the tissue massage was good. I plan on coming when I come into town. They're on the second floor of the mall by Macys. It's clean and quiet. The rooms are very well maintained and the beds are super comfortable. The rates are very reasonable. It comes out to about a dollar a minute after the first hour. They even do a frequent customer rewards card. I plan on trying some of their other services. Very highly recommended

Massage is critical for my health, as I've got a disabling chronic illness that keeps me quite sedentary (and with a hyper-sensitive nervous system and low pain tolerance). I've had monthly massage as part of physical therapy, for years- but since March 2020 I hadn't had a single one. So I was in pretty bad shape when I first went to Kate. And by the end of my 60-minute session, my chronic pain was so far reduced by her skill, I almost wept with relief. She's not the cheapest massage therapist I've ever had- but she's by far the best, and worth every penny. Even days when I'm not in pain, I can feel the difference after her massage. And she varies her technique and focus based on how I'm feeling as well as her own expertise. Every massage with her has made a noticeable difference in my body, for the better. She's also very personable and calm, doesn't try to chat at me during the massage, and has created a calming, welcoming environment with her studio (from the electric fireplace to the music, to the warming massage table, the cleanliness of the space, the plants and crystals, etc.) Her cupping machine is interesting, and her massage lotion is great for my dry, sensitive skin. She's a very positive, kind person (as well as being observant) and clearly is continuing to develop her considerable skill. I'm so grateful she's practicing in Roanoke, and will continue to get regular massage from her for as long as she's here.
